LITTLE  BO-BAT 


ETLE  Bo-Bat 
Has  lost  her  rat, 
And  can't  tell  where  to  find  it; 
Leave  it  alone 
Will  it  come  home, 
Wagging  its  tail  behind  it? 


TOM,  TOM 
THE  CHAPLAIN'S  SON 


T 


OM,  Tom,  the  Chaplain's  son, 
Used  perfume  and  sen-sen  gum. 
Perfume's  fine 
And  so  is  gum, 

But  what  is  the  matter  with  the 
Chaplain's  son? 


HIGGLED Y,  PIGGLEDY 
SEE  MY  MEN 


T  TIGGLEDY,  piggledy,  see  my 

JL  JL  men, 

My  nice  squad  of  rookies  ten; 

People  come  from  far  away 

To  see  me  drill  my  men  each  day. 


PRIVATE  MAHONEY 


PRIVATE  Mahoney 
£>at  all  aloney, 

Feasting  on  crackers  and  beer; 
A  "TB"1  espied  him, 
And  crept  down  inside  him, 
And  he's  gone  to  Fort  Bayard2 
for  a  year.

DING,  dong,  (Ml, 
The  Sergeant's  in  the  mill! 
How  did  it  happen  so? 
Dam'f  I  know.

TO  BED,  TO  BED 
SAID  SLEEPY- HEAD 


TO  bed,  to  bed,  said  sleepy 
head 
Let's  tarry  a  while,  said  the 

winner, 
Your  luck  will  turn  on  a  red, 

white  and  blue, 
So  let  the  jack-pot  simmer. 


MOTHER,  MAY  I  GO  OUT 
TO  MANILA? 


MOTHER,  may 
I  go  out  to 
Manila? 
Yes,  my  darling 

daughter; 
But  mind  the  sea  is 

sometimes  rough, 
You  may  cast  your 
bread  on  the  water. 


DICKERY,  DICKERY,  DOLE,  THE 
LIEUTENANT'S  UP  THE  POLE 


,\ 


DICKER Y,  dickery,  dole! 
The  Lieutenant's  up  the 

pole, 

But  when  he  conies  down, 
Woe  to  the  town, 
Dickery,  dickery,  dole!

CURLY-LOCKS,  CURLY-LOCKS 


CURLY-LOCKS,  Curly-Locks, 
wilt  thou  be  mine, 
And  care  for  my  motherless  children, 

nine? 
I  hear  thou  canst  sew  and  cook  dishes 

fine, 

Which  my  divorced  wife  never  did  in 
her  time.

SING  A  SONG  OF  SIX  PENCE 
A  COLONEL  FULL  OF  RYE 


SING  a  song  of  six  pence, 
A  Colonel  full  of  rye, 
Wishes  he  could  creep  to  bed, 
And  dodge  his  dear  wife's  eye. 

But  when  the  door  is  opened, 
His  wife  begins  to  scold, — 

Now  isn't  that  a  cruel  way 
To  treat  a  Colonel  bold? 

The  Colonel's  been  to  the  Club  all  night, 
At  bridge  a-losing  money, 

His  wife  has  waited  long  for  him, 
She  will  not  call  him  "Honey." 

The  cook  was  in  the  kitchen 
A- warming  of  her  toes, 

When  along  came  the  striker 
And  kissed  her  'neath  her  nose.

RIDE  A  Q.M.  HORSE 
THE  COUNTRY  ACROSS 


RDE  a  Q.  M.  horse  the  country 
across, 
And  you  will  come  home  very  much 

at  a  loss 
To  know  how  on  earth  your  dinner 

you'll  eat 

Since  you're  sure  you  would  rather 
not  sit  on  a  seat 


23 


THEOLDK.O. 
WAS  A  JOLLY  OLD  BEAU 


THE  old  K.O. 
Was  a  jolly  old  beau, 
And  a  jolly  old  beau  was  he; 
He  went  to  the  City 
In  cits  clothes  so  pretty, 
And  he  jollied  the  chorus  girls  three. 


25 


LIEUTENANT  JACK  HORNER 


E;UTENANT  Jack  Horner 
Sat  in  a  corner 

Imbibing  much  wet  nourishment, 
For  the  Queen  of  the  town 
Had  turned  him  down, 
And  smiled  on  the  goat 
of  the  regiment. 


27 


SIMPLE  SIMON  MET  A  GENERAL 


SIMPLE  SIMON  met  a 
General, 

On  an  Army  transport; 
Simple  Simon  licked  his  boots, 
For  this  was  Simon's  forte. 
Quoth  Simon,  "I  am  mak- 
ing good," 

His  head  inflated  grew; 
But,  alas!  when  they  reached 

Manila 

He  was  sent  to  the  tall  bam- 
boo. 


JACK  AND  JILL 

WENT  UP  THE  HILL  UPON  THE 
WATER  WAGON 


JACK  and  Jill  went  up  the  hill 
Upon  the  water  wagon; 
They  both  fell  down, 
And  broke  their  crown, 
The  fatal  result  of  painting  the  town.

HEY!  DIDDLE,  DIDDLE 
SHE'S  BIG  IN  THE  MIDDLE 


HEY!  diddle,  diddle, 
She's  big  in  the  middle, 
She  can't  wear  her  new  tube  gown ; 
But  get  her  some  stays 
That  lace  up  both  ways, 
She  will  not  be  so 
big  around 


RICHARD  AND  ROBERT  WERE 
TWO  PRETTY  AIDES 


R:CHARD  and  Robert  were  two 
pretty  aides, 
Who  to  bed  went  at  dawn  with  two 

aching  heads; 
At  eleven  a.  m.  Robert  leaped  from 

his  bed, 
"Oh,  Richard,  the  General  will  be 

waiting,"  he  said. 

"Shut  up,"  said  Richard,  "don't  make 
such  a  fuss ; 

The  General  was  fuller  than 
either  of  us." 


35 


HUMPXY  DUMPTY  WENT 
ON  A  SPREE 


HUMPTY  Dumpty  went  on  a 
spree, 
Humpty  Dumpty  was  sick  as  could 

be; 
Now  all  his  regiment,  Colonel  and 

men, 

Couldn't  make  Humpty  Dumpty 
go  boozing  again. 


37 


THE  COLONEL'S  WIFE  AND 
THE  CAPTAIN'S  WIFE 


THE  Colonel's  wife  and  the  Cap- 
tain's wife 

Were  fighting  for  the  prize, 
And  scarcely  had  the  game  begun, 

Before  the  guests  were  wise; 
The  hostess  held  her  breath  for  fear 
They'd  scratch  each  other's  eyes. 


39 


THREE  BLIND  BUGS 


blind  bugs,  see  how  they 
JL     run! 

They  all  run  after  the  boy  in  blue 
And  chase  him  to  Bayard  for  a  year 

or  two, 

Where  he  sleeps  out  of  doors  and 
grows  very  blue— 

Three  blind  bugs. 


SOLDIER  IN  BLUE 
COME  BLOW  YOUR  HORN 


SOLDIER  in  blue,  come  blow  your 
horn! 
The  troops  are  waiting  to  drill  this 

morn  ;— 
Where  is  the  soldier  that  blows  the 

horn? 

He 's  off  with  a"  bottle  of  juice  of  the 
corn.

THERE  WAS  A  LITTLE  QIRL 


THERE  was  a  little  girl  and  she 
had  a  little  curl, 
Which  she  pinned  'way  back  from  her 

forehead, 
And  when  she  was  bad,  she  was  very, 

very  bad, 

And  when  she  was  good,  she  was 
horrid. 


45 


BAA,  BAA,  BLACK  SHEEP 
YOU  MUST  HAVE  SOME  PULL 


QCPS 


BAA,  baa,  black  sheep, 
You  must  have  some  pull. 
Yes,  sir;  yes,  sir; 

Washington  is  full 
Of  Generals  and  Senators 

That  my  near  kin  be, 
If  it  were  not  for  their  kindness, 
Out  of  service  I  would  be. 


47 


THERE  WAS  A  LIEUTENANT 
WHO  ALWAYS  WAS  BLUE 


was  a  lieutenant  who 
always  was  blue; 
He  had  so  many  children  he  didn't 

know  what  to  do; 

Daily  to  Heaven  for  war  prayed  he, 
That  he  might  soon  get  his  captaincy. 


49 


MARY,  MARY,  FLIRTY  FAIRY 


M 


ARY,  Mary,  flirty  fairy, 
How  does  your  body-guard 

grow? 
Tall  Captains  in  blue  and  a  Major 

or  two, 
And  Lieutenants  all  in  a  row.
